Well let's see.
If the figure is split up into 10 pieces, then
each piece is 1/10 of the whole figure.
If 2 of the pieces are shaded, then
2/10 of the whole figure is shaded.
How many pieces are left ?
There were 10 pieces all together, and
2 of them are shaded. Hmmm. I think
there are probably (10 - 2) = 8 of them left
that are not shaded.
8 pieces makes 8/10 of the whole figure.
P=2(L+W)
if given one side and the perimiter
(P/2)-L=W
(P/2)-W=L
Add 5 to both sides of the equation.
x=-14+5
Add -14 and 5.
x=-9

ANSWER: The length of the entire dash is 700 meters.
EXPLANATION:
Because 20% of the dash equals 140 meters, we can use a variable to figure out the length of the entire dash.
Let x be the length of the entire dash.
![.2x = 140\\\\x = 700](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=.2x%20%3D%20140%5C%5C%5C%5Cx%20%3D%20700)
The length of the entire dash is 700 meters.
